I can virtue signal and say that I have never bought anything from Amazon. They seem like a monopoly. I buy junk from eBay who are probably just as big of liberal goons. And my boycott of Target goes on to infinity…

Maybe we should CELEBRATE if Amazon goes down. After all isn’t the owner a BILLIONAIRE? ACCORDING TO DEMS WE WANT ALL HIS MONEY. Of course there will be no more Amazon but Dems just want the billionaires $.

Walmart is even worse.

I would guess 90% of products sold at Walmart’s is non-American made.

Sam Walton, the founder of WalMart, saw the rise of imported merchandise. He ordered his stores to stock USA merchandise. The stores launched a major advertising campaign that they were stocking American goods. Unfortunately, this led to many empty shelves. Because so much USA manufacturing (and jobs) had already been exported to Communist China and elsewhere. America simply had stopped making lots of things.
WalMart had to give up its Buy-American campaign.

Amazon is a CCP storefront. By design.

Perhaps Amazon should have been named The North Pacific Gyre.
Not as catchy but more accurate.

I read that more than half of the third-party sellers on Amazon are Chinese living in China.

Many of the “made in USA” products are really made in China, but the last trivial part of production was in the U.S., such as final packaging.

Amazon is a Chinese flea market. And Amazon does not care about all the fraud as long as buyers are happy and it does not get in the press.

Aaaaaan, let’s not act like a progressive and claim that this means Amazon makes this stuff in China.
No, the retailers who use the Amazon platform make the stuff in China. Ever watched episodes of “SharkTank”? Every product pushed to them meets with comments about switching production to China. Statements about “Made in America” is met with sneers.

I rarely buy online, if I can’t touch it, I don’t buy it. This trend of buying cars online without driving them is weird as well.

Without cheap crap “placeholders” from china, most of America wouldn’t be experiencing the imitation of a middle class life.

America has been gutted and hollowed out.

For years, Amazon’s third party sellers have been taught how to source products from China and many have have done so very successfully. I really have no problem with thousands of miscellaneous items - from kitchen gadgets to decor items - coming from China; you just can’t get them made affordably here. I have a huge problem with China making our drugs and airplane parts.

There is nothing on Amazon that doesn’t also have a competitor who is also on amazon.

American companies are often just resellers of products made by Chinese companies.

Wonder how many invests in Chinese labor camp products?.

No wonder Sears and hundreds of others went out of business.
